I have a KItchenAid Presitge Electric Dryer; Model #YKEYS677EQO. It just shut off. I tried resarting it but all I get is a humming noise. This humming noise only lasts for about a couple of seconds then I get nothing. The barrel can be turned manually.

HI, check the following to address this issue.
1. No power to the dryer
Make sure there's power getting to the dryer. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for power with a voltmeter or by plugging something else in.
2. Door switch / Door switch actuator lever
The dryer will not start with a broken door switch. Replace the door switch if found defective.
Most dryers have a door switch actuator lever - when you close a dryer door, it presses against the lever, which actuates the door switch. If the lever is broken, the switch would not activate and the dryer would not start. Replace the lever, if broken.
Note: Door switch actuator lever usually comes with the door switch assembly and it is recommended to get the whole assembly since there is almost no price difference between the door switch assembly and just the lever. Check your model for more details.
3. Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.
Note: It is recommended by most dryer manufacturers to replace a hi-limit thermostat when replacing a thermal fuse.
4. Timer
Replace if defective (note: uncommon problem).
**The most common issue here will be a defective Thermal fuse

Most gas dryers have a flap under the door. The flap has spring clips up top that are easily compressed by a putty knife. You can then remove that kickplate and get to the problem. Here is a few repair pictures:

Hi, If the dryer heats in the automatic cycle and the timer still does not advance, try using the time cycle. If the timer still won't advance, you will need to replace the timer.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks
Vic
